Rooftop reception - would recommend!

We had our wedding reception on the rooftop which turned out perfectly. Loren was great to work with throughout all the planning process - even on a quicker time schedule (5 months!). He helped us coordinate with the chef for a custom menu which was delish. We DIYed our decor, and Loren and the team went above and beyond decorating the tables and surrounding areas. They also broke down everything at the end of the night which meant we were able to celebrate with our guests and head on to the after party without any extra logistics.

We were initially concerned about bugs, wind, and lighting. Bugs and wind weren’t an issue at all, and we ended up finding someone to install strings of lights across the rooftop. I would suggest Crowne Plaza look into adding these by default as I think they really transformed the space.

Thanks to Loren & the team for helping us pull off our big day!

Great experience, beautiful venue!

The Crowne Plaza was a beautiful venue to host our wedding ceremony and reception. Zach from the Crowne was a pleasure to work with and helped us with all of our needs! He was extremely knowledgeable, quick to respond and made a stressful day stress free. They work well with outside vendors and ensure everything goes as planned. I would highly recommend using them!

10/10 Would recommend!

I recently had my wedding at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield. We had a beautiful rooftop ceremony and then the reception in the ballrooms. Zach was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was extremely responsive and professional every time we exchanged emails or phone calls or in person visits. I was planning my wedding from out of town and he eased all of my worries and responded to ALL of my questions, no matter how ridiculous they seemed. He and his team helped to make our day go by smoothly and responded to all of our requests quickly. Could not recommend them enough!

McCarty Wedding 9/10/22

If you're looking for a seamless wedding planning experience, the Crowne Plaza is where to go! Zach at the Crowne Plaza is the best! He is extremely responsive and ensures your day is perfect for you! The Crowne Plaza was very spacious and the service was great. The food was served hot and we had no complaints. There was no request that Zach was not able to fulfill! Our out of town guests loved the hotel bar and the free parking. The location of the hotel was perfect for local restaurants and close to the express way.
